Does anyone have an alien window kit?

Im just after the instructions

Yes.

Dont suppose you could send me detials of the bit wher ethe resistor is removed to disable the force feedback ?

I'll check tonight and let you know. If you want the full instructions then PM me your email address and I'll send you a scan.

I have one, and I removed the resistor....

Fitted it, but it does not seem to work very well - The autorollups from the key in the lock work, but struggle with the remote window shut / open / vent features though :-(

Mine works fine. Initially I found it a little too sensitive when unlocking and often rolled all the windows down. However changing to one click unlock sorted that.

Whats an alien window kit?

It allows control of the windows and sunroof from the OEM remote key fob.

But is for A4 based platforms only, so it wont work on a Fabia.

Don't worry, I can find an aftermarket brand that will do the job You can even get a remote start function installed here

You can get remote start here as well but I believe it's illegal to use in public places.

Why??

Why??

I believe it's illegal to leave a vehicle running unattended....

also there are insurance complications with remote starts aswell as turbo timers.

Goochie - I presume you have what you need - you just snap off the resistor to enable the rollup function!

I'm on my second one as a bodyshop managed to blow up the first

It's always worked well for me but you do have to time the presses properly for it - took me a few practice goes.

I'm looking forward to summer so I get to use it again!

How long are you meant to wait between presses?

I managed to get mine to unlock the car and roll down the windows last night, but this morning by pressing unlock-lock, I expected the car lock and the sunroof to close... but sadly I was ignored (hopes it does not rain!)

Also unlock-lock-unlock which I thought was meant to be vent mode was ignored!

Eddy has sent me 2 pages from the manual but skimming through it I cant see a mention of removin gthe resistor - is it easy to identify ?

It is mentioned on the first sheet on my installation notes

"in order to allow any rollups ... ... a resistor must be physically removed from the controller. This resistor is located right next to the cable connector and is coded with the stripes ORANGE-ORANGE-YELLOW-GOLD. To enable full operation of the controller, includinf roll ups, remove this resistor by cutting of bending it back and forth"

Ahhh.... now I've read it properly I can see it.

Thanks, all.

You should have got 3 pages.

For the windows to roll-up you have to do it within 30secs of closing the drivers door.

Or change the options to allow rollup at any time

Fitted mine before 2 weeks in france and rolling down all the windows 2 minutes before getting in makes a big difference in 30c plus temps

Eddy - I got 3 files but only 2 pages.

2 files were the same page but at different resolutions

Not to worry though - I now have the info I wanted.

Sorry, I was in a rush so didn't check. Odd they were different resolutions as I just used auto settings. :confused:
